The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selecting the bunches at the optimum moment of ripeness. They are then separated from the clusters and can be lightly squeezed to release the must and compounds from the grapes. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks or in small wooden vats, where selected yeasts are added. During this process, the sugars are converted into alcohol and the characteristic aromas and flavors of the wine develop. A maceration is carried out to extract the color, flavor and tannin compounds from the skins of the grapes. The duration of the maceration can vary according to the style of wine that you want to obtain. After fermentation and maceration, pressing is carried out to extract the remaining liquid from the skins and seeds. Some red wines from DO Arribes can go through a period of aging in oak barrels, which can vary in time and type of barrel. Barrel aging adds complexity and specific characteristics to the wine.
